GoPass at PCC - The Office of Student Life

U-PASS at PCC is now GoPass!

PCC is partnering with Metro to offer you a GoPass with unlimited rides on Metro and 19 partner transit agencies throughout LA County.

The U-PASS program will be replaced by GoPass starting in Fall 2026. For students attending classes in Summer 2026, we will update this page soon on how they can receive transportation services during the transition.
